Opponents of the Seneca Nation's off-reservation casino in Buffalo, New York, want a federal judge to expediting a ruling in the case.
Citizens for a Better Buffalo argues the land where the casino is located does not qualify for gaming.

The tribe opened a temporary casino after receiving the NIGC's ruling last week [PDF].
